Nor is it simply "30 minutes from 10-80%." Its time getting off the freeway. Finding the stall. Getting your adapter out. Initiating charge in app or p.o.s., time getting back on the freeway, etc.
I love studying stuff like this, so not trying to be a hater. But I'd venture to say every "30 min...
I probably phrased that poorly. I meant, is it worse for humans to be exposed to these batteries over long periods of time in cabin areas that get quite warm opposed to car batteries that sit outside the passenger cabin.
hours of relatively harmless exposure in the car add up.
I could also be...
Are there any downsides to housing a battery like this inside a passenger cabin of a vehicle that routinely reaches 120° temps? Not concerned about the chemistry for the battery’s sake. I’m thinking about effects of people sharing the same enclosed space.
I think Gen 2 R1’s have the battery in...
Think thats a mobile issue. Like you, I had grown accustomed to waze and was curious how Rivian's nav would differ. My first few long trips I would run the two systems simultaneously and after realizing there is virtually no difference, have stopped doing that. Rivian's nav has accurate traffic...
R1S dual max here. Got 358 miles on a door-to-door non stop trip three times now - so holding 75mph for 4 hours is easily attainable (will prob burn ~350 miles of range for the 300mi covered at that speed).
For anyone that has been invited to fully configure their reservation into an order, was the Treehouse tent an accessory able to be added to your configuration?
When considering all the additional things this package comes with (max bat $7k, darkout $1k, FG paint $2.5k, sound+vision $2.5k, and the forest edge $2k itself), the forest edge interior is a $6k discount ($15k of upgrades for $9k)
Your photos are from the location under construction at I-5 and Jamboree. This is called the Tustin Marketplace.
I’m not sure where your reference to the Irvine Spectrum comes from?
This is a fun question. Theoretically, you can stay hidden out in the boonies somewhere with an EV and recharge with solar, or campground electrical hookups. I suppose the electrical grid can eventually “run dry” like a gas supply too? But you can avoid civilization more in an EV than an ICE...
Getting more regen northbound was purely a function of some stop and go traffic through LA around 4pm on a Friday. Even got detoured off the 5 momentarily to avoid the worst of it, which added about 10mi to the NB route.
Yes, that is what it means.
While its nice to know the capacity exists to make it on this trip in one shot , its really the only use case I see for having a need for 400mi range (having a point-to-point destination ~360mi away).
I have family out in the PHX area that lives 384mi door-to-door...
Completed a couple long drives through the I-5 corridor of CA this weekend. We made it door-to-door without stopping each time, primarily out of curiosity to see how the range would hold up. We have a 2023 Gen 1 R1S, performance dual max with 21" road tires (stock pirellis for now... michelin...
